Receiving a text message costs additional money if you don't already have a texting plan on your cell phone account. You can block texts from certain numbers if you are a Verizon Wireless customer. According to its website and as of Spring 2010, AT&T does not have a way of blocking incoming text messages from wireless numbers. T-Mobile only allows you to block all messages, not just certain texts from a certain number. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions Log in to your account on verizonwireless.com.
